Cake for dinner sounds like a joke until you live it. We talk with Keesha Scott, parenting coach, recovery advocate, and host of the Cake for Dinner podcast, about the nights when you are doing your best, your kid is melting down, and you still have to show up like everything is fine. Keesha shares the personal meaning behind the name and why moms are done with curated perfection and ready for honest motherhood.

We get into the real mechanics of her journey: getting sober, raising three kids through big transitions, and turning years of lived experience into a parenting book that blends practical guidance with memoir-level truth. Keesha also walks us through the publishing reality of “a gazillion no’s,” why editing can feel like therapy, and how she navigates the hardest question of all: what to share when your children are part of the story.

Then we go deeper on teen mental health, adolescent substance use, and family systems. Keesha explains what she sees in behavioral health, why boundaries matter more than performative “gentle” rules, and how recovery only sticks when the whole family gets healthier. If you care about parenting teens, sobriety, authentic social media, and family healing, this conversation will stay with you.
